Navy SEAL Team 6 Dog Is Way More Awesome Than You
May 5, 2011 | In: General
Rumors are running wild where the Osama bin Laden raid is concerned and the part that’s grabbed our attention is how awesome the Navy SEAL TEAM 6 dog must be.
According to the UK Sun, German Shepherds are generally used for Navy SEAL operations and are strapped with armor and cameras designed to sniff out explosives, armed attackers and to provide information for the soldiers themselves.
Heavily armoured hounds – equipped with infrared night-sight cameras – have been used in the past by the top-secret unit.
The war dogs wear ballistic body armour that is said to withstand damage from single and double-edged knives, as well as protective gear which shields them from shrapnel and gunfire.
It’s been previously reported that a company called K9 storm has a government contract for these poochie vests, which come in both knife-proof and camera-mountable models.
So, basically, these dogs are way bigger badasses than you think you are. Sorry.
